Tigers officials have been stunned by the approach of former glamour boy Benji Marshall at pre-season training.

Benji may be turning 33 next month but he is running around like an 18-year-old in the blistering Sydney summer heat.

Back at Concord after a four year absence, Marshall has a point to prove in 2018 to the critics who say he is past it - and is using that as motivation. His attitude is also having a huge effect on the youngsters within the Tigers squad.

Let's stick with the plan for the moment. We can make changes as needed when the season starts.

Agreed, but Brooks has till round 6. Then we give the Number 7 to Marshall (or maybe Reynolds if he really wants it and remembers to pass!).

Hope you have contacted Cleary and told him Brooks has only til round 6.

Obviously he should take notice of his head coach.

Hahaha. True. Head Couch Coach!

I'm just setting my expectation. Tui, Reynolds and others have longer, because they are newer to our format. But Brooks has had too many chances to shape up.
I will not say anything negative against him till after Round 6. If he does not perform for us by then I will back Marshall for the role.
